Donttellmum Eczeem Review - Een Grondige Analyse en Ervaringen

What if the eczema treatment doesn't work?

See your doctor if a flare-up of atopic eczema is getting worse or not clearing despite the usual treatments with moisturisers (emollients) and topical steroids. Things which may be considered include:

• Whether the strength of the topical steroid should be increased.
• Whether emollients are being used often enough to keep the skin supple and moist.
• The need for an antibiotic if the inflamed skin has become infected.
• Allergy. Occasionally, some people become allergic (sensitised) to an ingredient in a cream (such as a preservative which is included with the steroid or emollient). This can make the skin inflammation worse rather than better.

You may be referred to a skin specialist if a flare-up does not improve with the usual treatments.

What causes atopic eczema?

There is no proven single cause for atopic eczema but factors which may play a part include:

• Changes in climate.
• Pollution.
• Allergies to house dust mite or pollens.
• Diet.
• Infections.
• Other early-life factors.

The cause is not fully understood. The oily (lipid) skin barrier tends to be reduced in people with atopic eczema. This leads to an increase in water loss and a tendency towards dry, itchy skin. Also, some cells of the immune system release chemicals under the skin surface, which can cause some inflammation.

Genetic factors

Inherited (genetic) factors play a part. Atopic eczema occurs in about 8 in 10 children where both parents have the condition and in about 6 in 10 children where one parent has the condition.

For many people, the exact genetic cause is not clear. In severe eczema, though, about half of all people have mutations in the filaggrin gene, which is important for maintaining the defensive barrier of the skin.

House dust mite allergies

Many people with atopic eczema are allergic to house dust mite.

Multiple eczema triggers

Other atopic eczema triggers

Other possible factors which may trigger symptoms, or make symptoms worse, include:

• Stress and habit scratching.
• Pollens, moulds, and dander from pets.
• Pregnancy and hormonal changes before a period in women.
• However, some of these may not be avoidable.

Editor's Note

• Original review date: December, 2023
• Galaxy AI features and OneUI 6.1 update have arrived
• Launch price: $599.99 / £599 / AU$899
• Lowest price on Amazon: $449.99 / £490 / AU$899

Update: April 2024. The Galaxy S23 FE may have been overshadowed by the Galaxy S24 family, which launched just over a month after this late bloomer arrived. That doesn't mean the Galaxy S23 FE isn't worth a look, especially if you can find it on sale for a great price. The S23 FE got the latest Galaxy AI features with the OneUI 6.1 update, which means it can create text messages, generate new photos, and more. Plus, it's still powerful enough that we can hope for more AI features to come, including long-rumored updates to Samsung's woeful Bixby voice assistant that could make it an AI powerhouse.
